Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

There was a sudden heavy snow last night, and when the moon and snow stopped, the snow could not reach people's calves.

When Zhang Xu, Harry, and Slughorn walked into the Forbidden Forest, they couldn't help feeling embarrassed when they saw the snow on the ground.

The snow covered the ground of the Forbidden Forest, and the paths, ravines, tree roots and vines on the ground were all invisible, and it was easy to fall if you walked on it.

In this case, even the horse people are too lazy to go out.In this way, it is more convenient for Zhang Xu and the others, and it can make their actions less variable.

As for the dangerous ground, they can fly

I have to sigh that the Weasley family's flying car that settled in the Forbidden Forest is now about to evolve into the kitt in Knight Rider.After the Weasley twins overhauled it once before graduation, it is now rampant and has become a rampant bully in the Forbidden Forest. Even the horsemen have to avoid it when they see it.

But Harry knew how to control the car, so after they found the car covered in snow, they saved themselves from the trouble of trekking in the snow.

As for cars, Slughorn was in a daze. Harry had sat in the back seat of the Dursleys' car, and Zhang Xu had driven the car last time in his previous life.

In this case, Zhang Xu could only bite the bullet and drive.

Fortunately, Mr. Weasley did not remove the seat belt of the car, otherwise Zhang Xu would not have dared to drive around in the Forbidden Forest.Slughorn, who sat in the front passenger seat just out of curiosity, his round belly was strangled as he learned to put on his seat belt.So after less than 10 minutes of driving, Harry sat in the passenger seat.

"What are we going to find?" Harry asked, holding a map to guide the way.

While driving intently to avoid hitting a tree, Zhang Xu replied, "We're going to find native sheep."

"The tree that bears the exact same fruit as a sheep," Harry asked.

"That's right." Zhang Xu replied, "Slughorn needs a part of this plant."

"I need the juice from the fruit," said Slughorn, sitting in the back seat, "that is, the blood of the sheep."

"What's the use of its juice?" Harry asked curiously.

"It is a drug catalyst with a wide range of uses." Zhang Xu replied, "It takes several hours or even half a day for some drugs to fully exert their effects after taking them. If you add it to the drug, it can make The drug takes full effect within minutes or even seconds."

"Then it would be the best to use him as an antidote." Harry suddenly said excitedly.

"Yes, it can make some drugs that are not suitable as antidotes because they take effect too slowly can be used again." Slughorn said to Harry, "It's just that the research on it has just started, you are willing to come Work on it with me, Harry, and I can make you second author on the paper."

"Uh, let me think about it," replied Harry, who was still a little resistant to Potions now.

"Don't think about it." Zhang Xu said, "Aren't you going to be an Auror in the future? As an Auror, you must deal with poisons and antidotes. You can use this opportunity to strengthen your knowledge in this area."

Hearing that doing so would be useful for becoming an Auror, Harry agreed after thinking about it for a while.

Slughorn told the handyman who had just been fooled that he would contact him as soon as the research began.Then he wanted to trick Zhang Xu into joining the handyman team, but Zhang Xu "hehe" passed him by.

"Professor, how did you know that the juice of native sheep fruit has this effect?" Zhang Xu asked curiously, because there had never been any research in this area before, and what Zhang Xu said to Harry just now was from the previous Slug Horne had told him in his show of knowledge.

"A few years ago an old friend of mine got sick and asked me to help make a potion," Slughorn said.

"After you drink that potion before going to bed, you will be healed as soon as you sleep until noon the next day."

&

nbsp;"It's just that my friend ate half-ripe lamb chops fried with native sheep's fruit that day before going to bed after drinking the medicine. As a result, when he changed his pajamas after drinking the medicine, he found that his illness was after changing his pajamas. It'll be fine."

In the ensuing conversation, Zhang Xu discovered that Slughorn seemed to be making friends with Harry deliberately, and kept showing Harry his personal connections in the chat, but Harry was not sensitive at all in this regard.

The group talked and laughed, but they all deliberately avoided a question, that is, what would happen if the juice of this fruit was used in poison.

According to the written description on the map provided by the horsemen, the native sheep closest to them grew on the bank of a stream, and about a mile upstream of the stream was a small waterfall two to three meters high.

The car stopped at the bottom of the waterfall, and the three people in the car got out of the car to exercise their muscles and bones.

Since the maps provided by the horsemen belong to the impressionist style, they do not have the concept of scale, so the group can only find reference objects such as rivers, streams, and pools on the drawings, and then walk along the water flow.

Coupled with the heavy snow cover today, if the car is flying above the height of the treetops, it will be easy to get lost.

Therefore, the car has been flying at a slightly higher ground along the way. In order not to hit the tree, Zhang Xu's speed has not been high.

In this way, the car turns left and right for a while, and the people in the car can't stand it.

After getting out of the car and moving his stiff body, Harry asked, "Why did we stop so far from the target?"

Slughorn replied, shaking his stiff legs, "The native sheep's fruit is ripe now, and it will leave as soon as the weather warms up. The car is too noisy, and it will tear the fruit." It was scared away in advance, so we will have to work hard to catch it."

"There is a situation," Zhang Xu who was standing aside suddenly shouted.

Startled, Harry and Slughorn immediately drew out their wands, and then looked at Zhang Xu, who was twitching his nose and inhaling continuously.

"The wind brings some flavor." Zhang Xu pointed to the downstream direction of the wind and said, "The smell of roast lamb seems to have cumin."

The other two were taken aback. They didn't smell anything, but Zhang Xu didn't look like he was joking. After thinking of Zhang Xu's small and practical magic, they no longer suspected that Zhang Xu made a mistake, and then they immediately thought Someone got there first.

"Let's go and have a look first." Slughorn said a little angrily, "Everyone hold your wands."

He has nothing to say if something that he thought was in his pocket was taken away without his knowledge, but if someone roasts it in front of him first, it would be irritating.

The three of them walked quietly downstream along the frozen stream, and as they approached their goal, Harry and Slughorn began to smell the scent of mutton in the air.

When they came to the edge of a clearing, they saw a blond man in strangely colored clothes roasting a leg of lamb beside a bonfire in the middle of the clearing.

The strange color of the clothes is Slughorn's feeling, and Harry remembers seeing soldiers on TV wearing such clothes called snow camouflage clothes when he was at No. [-] Privet Drive.

And Zhang Xu grabbed Harry and Slughorn who were about to go up to say hello, and then shouted to the person who was roasting the leg of lamb: "Bell, this is my professor and classmate. Call your two friends Come out, we mean no harm."

Bear Grylls, who was roasting the leg of lamb, breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted to the surrounding space: "Everyone, come out, they are professors and students of Hogwarts."

As soon as Bell finished speaking, two people appeared from the snow on both sides of Zhang Xu and the others.

If the three of Zhang Xu took a few steps forward, they would fall into the opponent's triangle ambush circle.

Zhang Xu saw that the two people who were ambushing just now took off their hats and hoods, and found that they were acquaintances who had met once when they acted together last time, so he greeted them: "Long time no see, Simon, Kevin."
